Psallite by Nhar
A new year, a spanking new Darkroom Dub. Something to ease ourselves into 2019 softly, something to arrest the imagination and take us away from the cold world outside…
Cue two beautiful compositions from Bernhard Siefert, the man we all know and love best as Nhar. Building on his previous Darkroom Dubs excursion in 2017 - not to mention multiple expeditions on the likes of My Favorite Robot, Tenampa, Correspondant, Mobilee, Modelisme and many more respected labels - both Psallite and Sibylle spark with that magic, mystic quality he's made his own. Unhurried, subtly layered, forever evolving and ultimately transcending us from the dancefloor to the stars, they're the perfect antidote to both the brutally cold weather most of us are experiencing right now and the perplexing politics.
It's been decades since we needed escapism at this level. Soul soothing, imagination boosting, skin rippling tech-noir laced with emotion... From the subtle baroque breezes and gentle raindrops-on-window melodic details of Psallite to the catlike bassline that stalks between the shadows of the pads and eerie arpeggios of Sibylle, this doesn't so much as ease you into the rest of the new year softly but, for a combined 15 minutes, takes you to a new year on a new planet. Nhar always knows how to unify all our senses like this. We suspect we'll be seeing him here again. Stay tuned in the meantime, we're only just getting started and have a lot planned for 2019...
